Required

Default Value
(None)
Data Type
AFP
ACIF searches for an overlay in the following order:
  1. The paths you specified with USERLIB, if any.
  2. The paths you specified with OVLYLIB, if any.
  3. The paths you specified with the RESLIB parameter, if any.
  4. On UNIX servers, the paths specified in the PSFPATH environment variable (if it is set). On Windows servers, ACIF first attempts to get the path from the registry; if that fails, ACIF attempts to get the path from the PSFPATH environment variable.
  5. On UNIX servers, the directory /usr/lpp/psf/reslib, if it exists.

Syntax

OVLYLIB=pathlist

Options and values

The pathlist is a string of one or more valid path names. For example: 
OVLYLIB=/tmp:/usr/resources:/opt/IBM/ondemand/V10.5/ovlylib
ACIF searches the paths in the order specified. Delimit path names in UNIX with the colon (:) character. Delimit path names in Windows with the semicolon (;) character.
Important: The total number of all characters in the string of path names cannot exceed 4095 bytes.
